Day 648

Recently the New York Times reported that Donald Trump uses a personal iPhone, and it is being monitored by Russia and China. Furthermore, the Chinese have compiled a list of who Donald talks to with that phone and that they have set up an influence campaign to get to those people so that they will feed Donald information that favors them.
Apparently, the reason this information was given to the Times was out of frustration that Trump refuses to give up his phone, like Obama did. They are hoping that Trump will listen to them now that he’s been embarrassed in the Times.
Trump tweeted yesterday that he only uses his two government issued phones. What did he tweet this on? His personal iPhone. The one they don’t want him using because Russia and China can monitor it.
I submit that Donald Trump is the biggest threat to our national security. The intelligence community is afraid that he might reveal secret stuff while talking on the that phone. However, the one saving grace is that the president doesn’t read much and doesn’t know much so they conclude that it isn’t that dangerous.

Yup, there you have it.

Pumpkin Ass

Moving on. Trump managed to be presidential for some say six hours. After that it was back to the blame game. The people targeted by the bomber? It was their fault. He, Donald, is not to blame. So what if he attacks them at every rally? They deserve it.

The press has played clips of him during his campaign attacking Hillary Clinton for letting an email with a “c” on it go through her server and she said she didn’t realize it meant “classified.” For that, he said she should be locked up and that is where the phrase “Lock Her Up” started. The “c” emails were notices about heads of state visiting and our routinely marked “classified.” There is no evidence that her email server was attacked until Trump publicly asked the Russians to do it. So by Trump’s own metric he should be locked up. Just sayin’.

Then we get to Roger Stone and the Mueller investigation. Apparently, Mueller is trying to figure out if Stone or anyone in his circle had prior knowledge that the Russians had the emails from the Democratic Committee. Oh boy. Roger the Dodger loves being in the spotlight. He has the weirdest fashion sense. He and Paul Manafort and other sleaze-bag Republican operatives, like Lee Atwater, have known each other for years. It has recently come to light, for instance, that the photo that ended Gary Hart’s run for president was a setup by Atwater. Nice guys. They will do and say anything and as we have seen with Manafort he will take money from the dirtiest of people in the slimiest ways. Roger was a rising start in the Republican ranks until it was learned he was advertising in a sex mag for wife swapping – complete with pics I am told. Let’s see the pictures!
It was Stone who said it would be Franken’s time in the barrel and Podesta. In the case of Franken we know he was working with a woman who wanted publicity for her new show. Roger also knew the madam who brought down Eliot Spitzer. Roger knows a lot of sleazy people and he’s been involved in a lot of sleazy things over the years. Now it’s being asked how did he know ahead of time that Podests’s emails would be leaked?
Well, it’s a simple explanation. See, Roger knows James Corsi the conservative author who has written books that ask where Obam’s birth certificate is, that John Kerry didn’t get his medal for service in Vietnam and on swift boating, that Hitler is still alive, that oil does not come from dinosaurs, that the twin towers collapsed not because they were hit by airplanes but because there were explosives planted inside the buildings, that Iran already has an atomic bomb.
Corsi has spoken on Fox News and World Net Daily to promote his books.
Corsi was the one who told Stone that the Podesta emails would be leaked before anyone else knew. How did Corsi know? According to Corsi he figured it out! He surmised it by reading the emails already stolen from the DNC. Wow, what a mind. What insight. He scooped all kinds of other reporters who were also reading those emails and not one of them said to themselves as they read those emails, “Huh, where are John Podesta’s emails?”
Could Roger be in trouble? What if Corsi was told by someone? Like say a Russian or Julian Assange? Not to worry Roger says he was acting as a journalist and is covered by the First Amendment.
Oh boy. Well, let’s wait and see.
One of the things that prosecutors and investigators look at is whether someone’s story keeps changing. It makes them think the person is hiding something. Like take for instance the Saudis’ claims about Kashoggi, or Trump’s claims about – well – anything, or Sarah Sanders trying to cover for Trump (She’s been real quiet recently.) or Roger Stone on any topic he’s asked about.
The changing story is a “tell” that the person is hiding something.

I really hope the Dems take the House so Maxine Waters as head of the committee that could demand Trump’s tax returns will do so and then we can watch and listen as Trump makes excuses.

The only time Trump has really been caught in such a way that he couldn’t wriggle out of it is when the diplomats at the U.N. laughed in his face. His reaction was interesting. He smiled briefly and said he didn’t expect that reaction. Then got the hell out of there and said they were laughing with him, not at him.

No, they were laughing at you Donald.

We aren’t laughing. You are a threat to our nation and our principles that we have lived by since the founding of the republic.
